So, in case you didn't know, April is National Poetry Writing Month, and this year I decided, hey, how about a month of Merlin inspired/related poetry? I haven't written poetry in what feels like forever, but let's do this anyway. Because poetry is awesome.

Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin; let's not talk about the pain that it causes me.


Secret


*.*.*.*.*

There was a secret in his eyes

Blue and guarded

Deep and careful

Sometimes Arthur wondered about it

If it would change things between them

If he really deserved to know what it was.

It was big

It could explode worlds and lives—

Merlin wouldn't keep something so guarded

With such pain and sadness

If it wasn't if it couldn't

And Arthur, oh Arthur, he worried about him

Keeping such a thing to himself

But then Merlin smiled and the secret vanished

And Arthur decided Merlin could keep all the secrets he wanted

As long as it didn't explode their world

He couldn't find it in him to mind
